Bids Submitted for NYC Subway Cellphone Network Contract
Posted Jan 18th 2006 8:58PM by Michael Sciannamea
An alliance comprising Cingular Wireless, Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel, and T-Mobile were among the four entities
bidding for the opportunity to hook up 277 subway stations for cellphone usage operated by New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Another team submitting a bid
included GE Capital and Time Warner Cable.
The winning bidder will get a 10-year contract to wire the subway platforms, but all bidders had to detail how they
would expand the network in their proposals. A key component of the contract is that the winner must let other carriers
use the network.
